Have you ever received a text that left you confused, guilty, or like you owed someone an explanation? A text that seemed innocent on the surface but carried a weight you couldn’t quite explain? That’s no coincidence—it’s a manipulation tactic, carefully crafted to pull you into the narcissist’s web.

In this episode, Rebecca breaks down the anatomy of a manipulative text message, revealing the psychological tricks hidden in plain sight, and giving you the tools to respond—or not—on your terms. By the end of this episode, you’ll have the confidence to read between the lines and recognize the manipulations for what they are—just words, not your reality. ____________________________________________________________________

Narcissists often put on a mask of charm and confidence, but behind it lies a fragile ego that can't stand being questioned, outdone, or ignored. Beneath the façade, they hate not having control over you. Why? Because they rely on your attention, validation, and compliance to feel powerful. When you break free, set boundaries, or stop feeding their ego, it’s like cutting off their lifeline—and that’s when their true colors come out.

Join Rebecca as she explores the depths of narcissistic behavior, what they won’t ever admit, and, most importantly, how you can protect your peace and take back your power. Whether you’re dealing with a narcissistic partner, parent, friend, or boss, Rebecca's here to provide the insights, strategies, and support you need.

So, let’s pull back the curtain, expose the tactics, and take a closer look at what narcissists don’t want you to know.
